Quick, running up the stairs, do you see what I seeout through the window pane, past the leaves into the treesBirds fly, birds fly, two, three, four, fiveone stays, one stays thereAnd my sisters laugh at him, "Do you see what he is doing?It looks like he's talking to the branches.""Oh come down, right now, don't dilly dally," mother's calling"Children, it's time for supper."But I stay up to it, I lock myself inside my bedroomThinking about what I was seeing.Nobody watching, so I pressed my ear up to the glassTo see if I could hear what he was saying.He said,It's concrete and stone,and this old skin's just a bag of bones,all life is is a simple breathblood through veins air to our heads,We have something more than this.Oh he is an old one with feathers falling, colors greyingVoice is tired from his songand look in his black eyes, and your proudest stories are worth tellingLetras de cancionesI know I'll never get to hear them.'Cause days pass, weeks pass, nights are long and days get shorterCold wind blows from the eastAnd my brothers speculate that he's lost his marbles, he's gone crazyI heard a much different storyHe said,I lost my mother when I was much youngerto a cat with big paws and big claws.And my daddy left me when I was a babyfor worms, and caterpillars and warmer places.We have something more than this.So snow falls, snow falls, fingers curling, noses icywe all go out to fetch himand snow falls, snow falls, a cardboard casket, kerchief on itNow I know, I know, I knowSnow falls, snow falls, I am crying, mother's callingI know I must goAnd snow falls, snow falls, I am crying, mother's callingI go, I go, I goSprings comes, children play, babies born and flowers bloomingI will never forget himConcrete and stone,and this old skin's just a bag of bones,all life is is a simple breathblood through veins air to our heads,We had something more than this.
